I've been interested in switching to Fiji from Sony A7iii and this is the camera that makes it possible! I mainly do photography, so this will handle 90% of what I do as well and the other 10% almost as well (AF & low light). I appreciate the form factor, enjoyable usage, smaller size, cheaper and lighter lenses Fuji offers.

This was so much better than all the other reviews I've seen. Gerald is killing it.

Probably the best review I’ve seen! Well done ✌🏼

Thanks for this video, probably the best one out there that really shows all pros and cons. Bought X-T3 because of your videos about that camera and have been really happy with it. Now I am considering getting X-T4 to keep mounted on my gimbal and keep X-T3 for photo.

Awesome to see you collab with Kasey! You guys rock!

This is awesome! No annoying music in the background etc. That's really fantastic. Great work

Excellent delivery. The only review I've seen of XT4 so far, that I didn't need to watch in 2x speed.

Good review approach. I also enjoyed seeing your setup at 2:52 smart use of the overhead boom doing both your overhead camera and mic.

One thing no reviewer has ever said about Fuji cameras for video, that to me sets them apart as true pro grade tools, is that you can disable in camera noise reduction. When filming something important, you shouldn't have to wait until post to realize the camera decided that some ghosting here and there or some other nasty artifacts were a good compromise to get the noise into what their threshold of acceptability is supposed to be. Fuji gets this right. Being able to tell the camera to leave all the noise in, crank the bitrate up to capture as faithfully as possible and leave the NR subtle art of tweaking and heavy lifting to that big video card that costs more than the camera in post.

@LDLCGO

4 жыл бұрын

@Asutari I haven't had any experience with Nikon, but Sony cameras have non-defeatable noise reduction built in. In my experience, depending on picture profile and iso, spatial and temporal noise reduction are applied before recording, causing artifacts that cannot be dealt with in post such as ghosting or loss of fine texture details. And every camera model (A6500, A7R2, A9, A7III, A7S2, etc...) deals with this differently. It's a big headache. Of course the holy grail is raw recording, because it leaves most processing like noise reduction out of the equation, allowing maximum flexibility to squeeze the most out of a specific sensor for a given shoot. However, I find that a good, high bitrate, supersampled, flat, 10-bit video stream without sharpening or noise reduction like the Xt3 and Xt4 produce gets you 99.9% of the way there.

Im not sure agree as far as the xt4 is concerned. Just that i could see a lot of people who own a 1700$ camera to have a “budget” editing computer, something that’s def not going to have a “video card that costs more than the camera”. 🤷‍♂️ this isn’t necessarily a camera that someone with a 1,400$ graphics card is using, thats more gonna fall to the c500’s or fx9’s and the like imo. But i super appreciate the info and perspective on ghosting and NR. Super cool to think about for sure

Excellent review as always Gerald. I love that you and Camera Conspiracy teamed up. I would really enjoy a podcast or live show talking about cameras. It would be a great weekly show.

Absolutely excellent review - exactly what we have been looking for! Thank you.

Best XT4 review on KZread! And having KC on the review is icing on the cake! Well done GU!

Fantastic to see you guys team up. Loved both videos. Great combo. I got to spend some time with the XT3 a few weeks back and while fine cameras just something about them makes me prefer my GH5 overall for my channel and the A6400 for stills.

When it comes to Fuji autofocus settings are crucial. You need to set the tracking speed to low to get more smooth autofocus results.

The most mature, considered review I've seen so far - and having Kasey helps!

Gosh you and Camera Conspiracy is so good....Love these collabs hahahah

Well done, awesome incorporating CC into this review and hands on✌️

Boom! Love it. Thanks for pointing out it’s shortcomings so I know, but I am one of those guys who held off on the X-T3 because of the lack of IBIS & flipout screen. SOOOOOOO, IBIS, flipout screen and decent autofocus......yes please. I will buy one now.

Coming back 5 months later to endorse this.

I own the Xt3 (super happy about it), and the best fuji lens for video is the 18-55, which is stabilized and has a very smooth autofocus. As far as settings, I can recommend to slow them down to -1. That's it about my experience, and I never had problems with the background when using autofocus. If you're interested in vlogging, definitely the 10-24, stabilized, is the lens to go. I've been using both the fuji 10-24 and the 18-55 (both stabilized) handheld, with the xt3 (has no ibis) and they work really good! If you own some nice prime lenses, the xt4 will make your life way easier. In my opinion, the biggest strength of both xt3 and xt4 is the amazing image quality they deliver for the price.

More collaboration with CC please!

I’m so happy that Kasey is getting collabs and getting to review a prerelease unit!!! MONKEY STRENGTH!!!!!!

Keeping the micro HDMI is honestly such a bummer.

I love how many box throw takes you did, when every single one of them was usable. 😂

So glad to see you and Kasey on each other's channels. You are easily two of my favourite KZread camera channels.

Finally!! An honest review. Well done! 👏🏽

Only @4:28 and I'm blown away. Been watching your various videos for a couple years. I've had my Panasonic G9 for two years now and recently the LCD screen is messing up. I figured this is a sign to upgrade. I've been considering the Panasonic S1R, Fuji X-T4, Sony A7R iii or A7R iv. On paper, the specs for the X-T4 looked like a bit of an equal switch and decent upgrade that I'd be willing to live with but after listening to your review, mannn it really helped me think deeper about what I would actually lose and what my needs are originally. Thanks bro, today is the day I subscribe. #iamundone

Great review. Clearly honest. Thank you very much !

One thing to add too, is with these small nitpicks with focusing etc, Fuji is renowned for issuing firmware updates very shortly after release that fixes a lot of those issues. A lot of reviewers slammed the X-T3 for focusing issues, and they were fixed via firmware in the first 6 months of it being on the market.

A new and the best place to get honest reviews .

Another informative and entertaining review. Great job.

Your reaction take at 15:19 to Kasey's analysis is the best part of this video. BTW I subbed thanks to you and CC.

Well done! I was looking forward to this one.

I've seen a ton of XT4 reviews and this is the best. Not a hatchet job and not just gushing praise. Good demonstrations giving me a realistic expectation of my coming XT4 :)

This is the fourth video I've eagerly watched on the XT-4 and the best from a videographer's point of view. As ever, your style and content are impeccable. Thanks Gerald!!

Man this collab is amazing!

Hi Gerald, great video. I have a question about the screen resolution. I do a lot of manual focusing and I want to know if there is a noticable difference between XT-4 screen and the ones from the previous generations like XH-1, XT-3?

Great review, thanks for sharing your thoughts! A question remains for me: what is the TIFF file exactly? Just an export of a flat raw, or does it include all of the jpeg processing like film simulation etc.? It would be awesome to get a tiff file that looks as awesome as the jpeg, but then have a lot more room to edit them without losing much quality. That would be very nice to have!

best 2 camera channnels in youtube.. Thank you for letting Kasey review the Xt4.. i will still buy the xt4 but the walking wobly is a huge disapointment. i wish there was an option to decrease levels of stabilization a bit and let it jump a little to get a more natural look

Very good content & overview but is this camera a pre production version in regards to AF and IBIS?

I gotta say this was my absolute favorite episode of Gerald undone. When I saw camera conspiracies I about fell out of my chair. YES !!!!

Love the collab with Kasey! You guys work well together. Heck, I’d watch a series with you and him reviewing cameras together. Like a two man Top Gear for cameras.

At 8mins and 21 sec I thought I would never see camera conspiracies. Glad I waited. You guys are awesome

First time I’ve watched this channel. I love the Kasey crossover.

This is most useful and detailed review of this camera among all others.

Hi. Thanks for the review. Did you re-evaluate the video after the software update? Reports are that it is smoother.

Dear Gerald, you deserve all the success you have had, which is certainly a fraction of what you will have. You are a man of heart as well as of science. There are some details this time that I cannot fail to observe. 1) seeing you next door makes it really clear that you are very tall and athletic 2) the back door, if open, would have given you a noticeable whiplash 3) the "perfect camera" poses that are Ikea pentoe supports (I also use them in the kitchen) 4) the plastic eagle that symbolizes "flying high" as you are doing 5) the fact that it helps Casey understand so many things about the Great Conspiracy Greetings from Italy, which is now suffering, but finds relief watching You.

great review gerald. You make this look easy

So would that lack of smooth focusing be fixed by using another brand of lens? Maybe an adapted one? Or is it in the software?

On Fujifilm, the custom autofocus settings for video would not show its effects unless you start recording.

Great reviews. Thanks. I have question. If we were to use hdmi for live streaming and record via external device/pc and do jot record internally, will the 30min limitation apply? In that way, what being live stream will we see all the menu or button or can be hiden so we only see clear video?

First of all Gerald, while I love your content I think you have been very unfair to the flippy screen. You shoot a lot of products too, so you should know this that if you are taking a shot with the camera over your head on a tripod facing downwards, then it's impossible to see the screen if it doesn't flip if you also have to operate tripod for fluid head pan shots. It allows for more angles than a flip up screen like the Sony. Secondly, I think if you're going to compare it with Sony's and Panasonic, you should also mention their shortcomings of their systems. For example Sony has a crop at 30fps too, and Panasonic doesn't have reliable face detect. I get that you are reviewing this from a point of being a perfect camera, but Fuji and others never claimed it to be the perfect camera, so reviewing other cameras for what they are, vs. reviewing X-T4 with a comparison to a theoretically perfect camera is kind of odd. Lastly, while people appreciate the duo of you and Casey, I personally don't think that you guys mix well, because the style of content you create is very different. What you do is a very serious and objective analysis of technology, and what is does is a very casual and subjective opinion on cameras, and he's mostly discrediting the work that camera companies are doing because they do not have one or two things that he likes. This is fine for his channel, and I like that type of content too, but even in this video he said that it's master of none with a negative tone (which is fine for his style of content, again). You guys should also have focused on the excellent lens lineup that Fuji has, I really think that it's the best KZreadr camera at the moment with all the combination of features it offers, and the non cinematic AF and recording limits are really not big limitations compared to other camera systems which have more serious disadvantages. Again, I really like your videos, but i think this one has been a bit unfair to the camera.

Hi. I am soooo confused whether the X-T4 or the sony A6600 are better for youtube content. I am considering getting my first camera. I think you may have an answer to my question... as you say Fuji's lenses are better? Have you compared both cameras? I honestly can't decide which to get. Sony has terrible IBIS but seems to look brighter. Fuji has a nice clean look where even the skin looks airbrushed (as per a video review comparison I saw before) but the autofocus is unsteady. I don't want my video content to be hunting. Any recommendations? Sony has a lot more lenses at better prices, Fuji lenses are super expensive. I love photography, but video will be the main use for the cam... mainly to do an educational youtube channel on animals (which move alot)... not sure if you or someone can help me out.

Jessica's Maltese & Bengals Sony lenses are not native to their APS-C sensors but are native to the full frame cameras, Fuji lenses are not that expensive and have a lot to choose from, Sony lenses have a limited selection, And Fujifilm have amazing color science that will save a lot of time in post. the xt4 shoot 10 bit internally meaning you will have very little to no color bending, The colors will blend very smoothly.

Great video and review Gerald.... loved the mix with CC, that was so funny, "shouldn't you point that at you?". The electronics and mechanicals are there in the XT4 - release firmware and some updates will be interesting - I hope Fuji are watching this - mmmm yes they are!

The most honest review I've seen so far

You're a good speaker. Very clear and articulate in communicating. Good job!

Thanks again @Gerald Undone for another great review. I know you Sayed it ones, but I just can't find it. Which HLG is the best (HLG 1,2 or 3)? And do you shoot in Rec709 or in BT2020? Would be such a help. Thanks and much greetings Jonas

I know everyone already knows this, but Gerald man you really crush it explaining the important and "boring" tech stuff that's I need to know more about when using a new camera {or just one I'm less familiar with). Anyways, both informative and entertaining. 🤘

Ha, watched about 25 videos about this camera, this is among the most precise and informative ones.

Thanks a lot for the balanced and honest review!

I guess if a camera company wants to win among reviewers, the move is probably to make a fairly large camera body so there's space for everyone's favorite ports and large batteries. Praise for small body size is quickly countered by complaints of missing plugs or awkward ergonomics.

Great job man, very good review!
